Time

if you spent 4+ years at BYU and that was your only time living in Utah

How would you know? You admit to not living in Utah.

Baron

8/9/18 11:45am

Huh?

8/9/18 11:48am

My mistake. I read left provo for left Utah. carry on.

Baron

8/9/18 11:58am

Yeah, I figured that was it. Nope, I moved to Orem, then American Fork....

8/9/18 12:01pm

Reread

True. College Utah culture and townie Utah culture are way different

Cashmeousside

8/9/18 11:45am

Fortunately.

I think I initially misunderstood your comment.

Machiavelli

Had the same experience. Getting outside the BYU bubble was a little shocking.

Memmo

I would add that Provo ward culture and those outside Provo

8/9/18 11:53am

Yeah. And then a separate one for super-mormony yet low-education Utah burbs

Cashmeousside

The difference is that, even if we "only" lived there for 4 years, many of us

Its real simple, the OP doesn’t describe you. Yet from a position of knowledge, what you think you know

8/9/18 12:44pm

This doesn't seem unique to BYU. BYU is a unique school, but college bubbles

8/9/18 12:03pm

Lol this is ridiculous. I've been here 7 years. I know enough.

TCuz

8/9/18 12:07pm

That’s cool but that doesn’t make you better than anyone

cougarnerd

Actually it does. TCuz is the best.

True. If you don't like being around Mormons, Utah is not for you.

Plato

8/9/18 12:18pm

And what's your attitude been like for those 7 yrs?

soupie

8/9/18 12:21pm

What if the population was just you and Jesus?

JAGA97

8/9/18 12:28pm

Then something has gone terribly, terribly wrong.

TCuz

8/9/18 12:30pm

Therein lies the disconnect. The gulf between what you know and what you think you know is enormous

8/9/18 12:30pm

I have no idea what you're talking about.

TCuz

Living in Provo or living in the tree streets of SLC are going to give you

cougarnerd

Sure. But living in a place that's >50% Mormon is unique and the same across UT

TCuz

8/9/18 2:15pm

I have 3 sisters who live in SLC. One has been there since 1981. I'm no expert,

Y-Zag

8/9/18 12:17pm

Sure. But SLC is quite different from everywhere else.

Plato

8/9/18 12:17pm

If you spent 4+ years at BYU... you're doing it wrong

ColoSpgs

8/9/18 12:21pm

Most people graduate in 3?

Plato

8/9/18 12:27pm

3+

ColoSpgs

8/9/18 12:31pm

Foreign mission + learn language + BYU = Cheap concurrent semester of A's

Florwood

8/9/18 1:43pm

...Or you studied engineering

Gorum the Old

8/9/18 2:12pm

... Or you were a normal college student

Gorum the Old

8/9/18 2:13pm

Engineers. We're there for the long haul.

8/9/18 3:52pm

I think there is a point in there somewhere... I'll keep looking

hadmonster

8/9/18 12:42pm

I didn’t have to have a long term relationship with a girl before I knew things

Y2k

8/9/18 12:51pm

That's a universal concept... not just Utah centric.
